It is highly doubtful that the teenager had been trained in proper handling and safety that goes with responsible gun ownership/possession, much less the proper shooting stances as suggested by your link. More likely any impressions he had came from watching television and playing video games.

None of the injuries the teen sustained are inconsistent with the scenario outlined earlier in which the teen turned to his right putting his body between the police and the gun.

And again without the orange safety tip at the end of the barrel, discerning the gun was a replica and not the real deal becomes very difficult.
